nabi's head swung like a whip when she saw the strangely-colored fletchling take landing up ahead. "no way! a shiny?" she exclaimed in a low voice. "poppy, look!" she pointed a finger at the brown-ish bird. she had no expectations of encountering a shiny today, and of all the chances, her very first one?[break][break]

the tip of her tongue stuck out from the corner of her mouth. "how can i say no to that?" she already had a safari ball at the ready.[break][break]

poppy followed, sticking close to nabi's ankles. if cyndaquil had eyes to see into, one would be able to see the innocent curiosity in poppy.[break][break]

nabi gave herself an internal countdown. the fletchling was not dumb. it had made a sparing glance at nabi and poppy but no intention of running away as it continued to peck at the ground. the last thing nabi wanted to do was scare the thing away. on the count of three, she sent the safari ball flying, hoping luck would continue to be on her side.[break][break]

catching the fletchling!

jasmine chirped in excitement when she saw nabi approach the garden. it had been much too long since nabi was able to drop by and check on her berries. she couldn't help but feel a little guilty, in fact, especially when she saw the bellossom's petals sway in dance. "hope you weren't too lonely," she said to jasmine with a small smile. jasmine replied with a joyful tune.[break][break]

despite her abscence, she could see that the bellossom was doing a job well done in tending both the berries and surrounding greenery. not only that, but there seemed to be a few other wild pokemon hanging around, none that seemed threatening. perhaps the bellossom wasn't so alone then.[break][break]

with a basket in hand, nabi began to gently pluck at the fully grown berries. thankfully none of them had turned rotten. "next time, i'll bring you a treat," nabi said to the bellossom. jasmine raised her hands and hopped in place.[break][break]

the basket was filled to the brim by the time nabi was done. the trees seemed bare now, but it would only be a few days before berries were back on the branches. "here you go," she said, tossing one of the fresh pickings to jasmine as thanks for all her hard work.[break][break]

with the berries collected, it was time to go.

"don't worry, poppy, you won't have to do too much battling here," spoke nabi to her cyndaquil. she was crouched with her hands at her knees to better talk with her much smaller pokemon. the reassurance of her trainer's words helped put some pep in poppy's steps. she was a timid one, unlike most of nabi's other pokemon. it was for that reason she brought poppy along with her today. exposure to wild pokemon, she hoped, would help the little one gain some confidence. fortunately, the safari zone did not call for intense battles.[break][break]

together, nabi and poppy took their first steps into the safari zone. grass practically littered the area, overgrown yet clean-cut. it was perfect for wild pokemon.

farewell, money [m]

POSTED ON Apr 29, 2024 23:49:32 GMT

[attr="class","lostinparadise"]

shoulders slumped as nabi sighed in relief. like the end of an action movie, the proper authorities were on the scene to clean up the aftermath. both of nabi's pokemon returned to her side, and both would receive a "job well done" from her before returning to the safety of their pokeballs.[break][break]

the bad guys were defeated and would be taken care of. but nabi was never going to get that money back. the thought remained on her mind, as well as her grumbling stomach.[break][break]

"huh?" she spoke up, head turning to look at the other girl. whoever she was, she acted like a pro. "oh, no problem. i mean, i kind of just acted on my own..." whether or not she was actually any help or if she had just gotten in the way was questionable. "sorry, actually," she decided to say. "you must be a cop? i should have just hid with the others."[break][break]

she gave the girl a quick glance, noting her build, age, and attire. nabi had never liked cops. she was usually the one causing trouble.

CIAN MAHER

nabi watched with her nose gently pressed agains the glass of the crane machine, her eyes wide and unblinking like a hoothoot. her expectations were low, but the child in her was excited nonetheless. she held her breath when the claw latched onto the lifeless treecko.[break][break]

it teetered. the seconds carried with anticipation.[break][break]

oh-so-cool cian was practically unnerved by his win. nabi could not contain herself. her immediate reaction was to punch him in his arm. "no way, twinkle hands!" she exclaimed, faced littered with blushing joy. at her feet, her cyndaquil sang in praise.[break][break]

nabi reached into the machine for her new toy. she would have liked for the real thing, but a plush toy was acceptable for now. "that was luck," she insisted. "take another shot. do it again."

CIAN MAHER

nabi still didn't understand, but at cian's tug, she followed without anymore inquiries. her eyes scanned the machine and its plushies. this was not a hard choice for her to make.[break][break]

"treecko," she said simply, eyes falling on one of the plushies in an upright position. it was perfect for grabbing. she flashed cian a small smile then and elbowed him gently. "i probably don't look like a treecko kind of girl," said the pinkette.[break][break]

her jade eyes turned back to the crane machine with its goodies. "are you good at these?" she had a feeling he would lie about his skills. wasn't it all luck?

DECKS DARK

POSTED ON Apr 6, 2024 20:43:05 GMT

[nospaces]

[attr="class","lostinparadise"]

The sudden snap of lightning made Nabi jump and yelp in place. She had barely even seen what had happened, but Remiel was now atop the roof. However, there was little time for her to question the hows and whys and what the hell just happeneds.[break][break]

This time, she sees the flash collide into the ground, half-expecting her body to go flying from the impact, but she, and her pokemon, are completely safe. How had she not known that the man standing beside her was a frickin lightning god?[break][break]

At his words, she perked up and grinned nervously. Well, at least he was on her side![break][break]

"Watch this!" she exclaimed to him. "Bruno, Jiji—combine your HYDRO PUMP and ICY WIND on one of the Iron Hands!" she commanded.[break][break]

The Iron Hands moved quickly, but so could they now. Jiji climbed the back of the swampert and took his seat at Bruno's shoulder. With affirming nods from the both of them, Bruno released a HYDRO PUMP first on the nearest Iron Hands, soaking its body from head to toe. Jiji's ICY WIND immediately followed. The result? One immobile Iron Hands.[break][break]

But that still left one, and it was right on them.[break][break]

Just as the Iron Hands lunged itself in with a HEAVY SLAM, Bruno lifted his hands to summon a PROTECT. The two foes weighed themselves against each other until both were pushed back. The PROTECT dissipated.[break][break]

"ROCK SLIDE!" came Nabi's next command. The Iron Hands were formidable opponents in close range. Now was the time to take advantage of Remiel's gift.[break][break]

Bruno's body carried himself with ease on all fours to gain some distance. At this point, the sneasel had receded the field but stuck to the sidelines in case his partner needed assistance.[break][break]

The Iron Hands zoned in on the swampert as several rocks began their flight towards it. With strong, repeated ARM THRUSTS, it smashed through Bruno's ROCK SLIDE. Still, Bruno picked up his speed, circling his opponent and sending another barrage of rocks, too fast for it to destroy each one this time. The Iron Hands was successful in its attack—one, two, three, four! On the fifth, its hand failed.[break][break]

The rock crashed into its face, throwing it off guard. Bruno dug into the ground once more. When the Iron Hands realized the swampert had disappeared, it was too late for it to guard. Bruno broke through the ground from behind the Iron Hands and unleashed a deadly, close range HYDRO PUMP.[break][break]

"Yes!" Nabi said under her breath. She looked to Remiel and his duraludon, already expecting them to have finished their battle as well.
